Benchmark Results: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

A light 3D workload makes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 suitable for far less powerful systems, yet we retained it simply to provide a complete comparison to our earlier model’s benchmark set.

The game runs decidedly better on Nvidia hardware. Most noteworthy is that it begins to favor the GeForce GTX 470M over the GTX 480M as resolutions are increased. This makes sense, given the 480M's compute-heavy GF100 graphics processor and the 470M's more texturing-savvy design.

You know programs like photoshop, 3dStudio Max etc can really benefit from a good GPU, but definitely not on that tests you are running here. At 3d studio final renders are a CPU job and the GPU doesn't get involved in that at all, but if we have a heavy populated scene and we try to move around the camera or an object with openGL/Direct3D preview on all 4 views, THEN a good GPU can make the difference and this is where we can see as well the benefits of pro cards vs the gaming ones.

So please, use the software and the hardware in a better way so we can get a better picture of the performance, people doesn't just play games, we are interested to see the actual benefits from a GPU while we work as well.
